ABC-7 at 4: National Work Zone Awareness Week

El Paso-TX (KVIA)- Texas' population continues to grow, and more Txdot projects are underway to address congestion and improve safety. 

Imagine the challenging conditions crews face at these sites, with heavy traffic and speeding just feet away from them in work zones.

As work zone safety awareness week comes to a close, TxDOT wants to remind drivers to pay attention in work zones.

Here is a list of road closures scheduled for Friday, April 19 for El Paso County and the City of Las Cruces. For updates in El Paso, click here.  (https://twitter.com/txdotelp)
